Tactical IT (such as Excel) is usually superior to strategic IT, amirite?

I agree with this until scale screams "build me an SQL database" or something. It's fantastic, but not magic.

Isnt this made about scale? Also financial services, but when we talk strategic IT it's something that needs to be able to handle billions of data points in close to real time (e.g. payments data, application decisioning etc). Its not that excel couldn't do some of that, but the volume of data would just crush it.

I'm an IT systems engineer and I have literally no clue what you mean by strategic vs tactical

Honestly this hardly even seems like it's IT. IT doesn't care what products finance uses to get their work done, just pick it out and pay for it, and we'll get it up and running if it needs some kind of infrastructure.
